Sudden Strike 4

Sudden Strike 4

I was fortunate enough to paint four oil illustrations for the revival of the legendary strategy game, Sudden Strike 4. The idea of making the illustrations the traditional way (oil on board) was inspired by the developer's intention to have world war II propaganda art as the visual direction for the cover art. Four paintings were made, three of which represent the three main factions, while the fourth one features them all.
